Bot Attack On America

The Russians are still at it: hacking at our elections via social media. Trump & Co. seem to welcome this, at the same time denying it is happening. One word here: Helsinki. The photo on the left features Valery Gerasimov, Chief of Russia's Armed Forces - he is the man with the headphones on. He and Putin have decided to wage cyberwarfare at a 4 to 1 ration to physical warfare. A troll is a person or entity on the internet who/which sows discord by starting quarrels or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory information, or extraneous or off-topic messages in an online community. Bot Attacks: the word 'Botnet' combines the words 'robot' and 'network.' Cyberhackers use special Trojan viruses to breach the security of attacked computers, take control of these, and organize all the infected machines into a network of 'Bots' that the hackers can remotely manage to i.e., send out the same message to millions of computers and their unsuspecting users.
